Note: If you associate each of the thirty-five listed numbers with a word in its respective sermon, a hidden message is revealed: He was not born a god. His destiny did not lead him to this crime. He chose this path of his own free will. He stole the godhood and murdered the Hortator. Vivec wrote this.
